Anxiety and depression

-

 I feel like I'm drowning in a sea of darkness

Every breath is a struggle, every move is a pain

I can't see the shore, I can't find the light

I'm alone in this ocean, with no one to help me fight

Anxiety and depression are my constant companions

They whisper in my ear, they drag me down

They tell me I'm worthless, they tell me I'm hopeless

They make me doubt myself, they make me hate myself

But I'm not giving up, I'm not giving in

I know there's a way out, I know there's a way in

I know there's a spark inside me, I know there's a fire within

I know there's a reason to live, I know there's a reason to begin


I'm not drowning, I'm swimming

I'm not sinking, I'm rising

I'm not alone, I'm surrounded

By people who care, by people who love me


Anxiety and depression are not my masters

They are my challenges, they are my tests

They make me stronger, they make me wiser

They make me appreciate myself, they make me value myself


I feel like I'm breathing in a sea of light

Every breath is a joy, every move is a grace

I can see the shore, I can find the light

I'm not alone in this ocean, I have someone to help me fight

Thinking deeply enough to understand the real point.

Thinking deeply enough to understand the real point. It's not to discover what you'd actually do if you didn't have to worry about money (that's not our reality), it's about the essence of what you'd do and how you can incorporate that into your everyday life. Would you vacation, would you keep your current job? It just goes to show you whether you value relaxation or accomplishments or whatever else, and understanding what you value is crucial to under- standing who you are. Take photos to remember happy moments, not prove that you looked good or did something cool. Make a special album on your phone just for "happy moments." When you feel good or are enjoying your- self or have some kind of revelation, just take a photo of whatever's in front of you (however unwor- thy of Instagram it is). When you look back at these seemingly random snapshots, you'll experience those feelings all over again. You'll see, by contrast, the emotional differe...

How I Found True Love After a Toxic Relationship

-
 Today I want to share with you something very personal and very important. I want to talk about how I found true love after a toxic relationship. You see, for a long time I was in a relationship that was unhealthy, abusive and draining. I won't go into details, but let's just say that it left me feeling broken, insecure and hopeless. I thought I would never find happiness again. I thought I didn't deserve it. But then, something amazing happened. I met someone who changed my life. Someone who showed me what true love is. Someone who respected me, supported me, and cherished me. Someone who made me feel alive again. It wasn't easy at first. I had a lot of doubts, fears and insecurities. I had a lot of baggage from my past relationship. I had a lot of healing to do. But this person was patient, understanding and compassionate. They helped me grow, heal and trust again. They helped me see the beauty in myself and in the world. Now, I can say that I am truly happy. I am in...

I am a 'Kept' Woman. You see, there were a few times when I thought I would lose my mind, but God kept me sane (Isa 26:3) There were times when I thought I could no longer go on but the Lord kept me moving (Gen 28:15). At times I've wanted to lash out at those whom I felt had done me wrong, but the Lord kept my mouth shut, (Ps 13). Sometimes, I think the money just isn't enough, but God has helped me to keep the lights on, the water on, and the house paid,etc (Matt6:25-34). When I thought I would fall, he kept me up. When I thought I was weak, He kept me strong!(1Pet 5:7, Matt 11:28-30. I could go on and on and on, but I'm sure you hear me! I'm blessed to be 'kept'.
